    Hi I just upgraded to WordPress 4.8 and to Genesis 2.5.2

    Since the upgrade I now cannot edit any of my widgets. I can see them in my appearance>widgets panel, but when I click "edit" I am only given option of reordering them - cannot actually see or edit what is in them.

    Most -- though not all -- of the widgets are still showing as they were before upgrade, though I can't change anything in them. I am using Genesis simple sidebars if that's of any importance.
    Can you advise? Site is: http://collegedegreecomplete.com/

    Thanks

    Have you tried dashboard -> Appearance -> customize -> widgets?
